Ultimate Purchase Guide for Aftermarket CASE Equipment Accessories

Are you a CASE owner? What type of CASE machinery do you own? CASE is a veteran in the US construction machinery industry. It was founded in 1842 and has accumulated countless loyal users around the world, including me. I own a CASE loader. The long-term operation of heavy equipment has to involve regular maintenance and upgrades. According to my personal experience, it is definitely the most cost-effective to do it yourself, and it would be even better if you could buy aftermarket CASE parts.

I have seen too many people buy low-quality parts, and the cost of repairing the car is more expensive than buying OEM parts. In this article, I will summarize several purchase criteria for buying aftermarket CASE parts. Of course, I only take CASE as an example. Generally speaking, these criteria can be applied to the purchase of parts for all heavy machinery.

1. Confirm the Model of the Accessories

There are thousands of models of CASE equipment, and the specifications of accessories are even more varied. Don’t rush to place an order if you think the type is the same. Each additional has its own part number. Confirm the part number, check the equipment manual, or directly check the CASE official website data. Sometimes, even if the model is wrong, it can still be installed, but it will cause irreversible damage to the machine.

2. Choose the Right Material

When purchasing accessories for heavy machinery, material and durability are very important. Key components such as hydraulic pumps, engine filters, tracks, and bearings can easily be damaged if they are of poor quality, causing the machine to not work properly. High-quality materials can make these accessories more wear-resistant, stronger, and last longer without problems. When purchasing, it is best to choose accessories that have passed ISO, CE, SAE, and other industry standard certifications to ensure safety and reliability, make the machine work more stably, reduce the number of repairs, and save costs.

3. Figure Out Source of Accessories

The source of aftermarket accessories is very important. Disassembled car parts from reliable channels are generally of good quality, but if they are refurbished parts or products that cannot be found from any source, you will have a lot of trouble if you buy them back. Regular disassembly factories, aftermarket parts suppliers officially certified by CASE are your first choice. If you don’t know where to buy, go to FridayParts. They provide the most professional accessories, and the production quality of the source factory is also very good.

4. Buy Only After Testing

Not all aftermarket accessories can be used directly, especially electronic control components, sensors, hydraulic pumps, etc. Before buying, ask the seller to provide test data, and it is best to test on the spot. If you can’t test it, at least you should have a guarantee of return and exchange. I bought CASE hydraulic parts on FridayParts, and they offer a 90-day free return and exchange service, which is great.

 

5. Don’t Choose Products That are Too Low in Market Price

Products that are far below the market price sound cost-effective, but they are actually a waste of money. They are either “old and broken parts” that have been repaired countless times, or they are low-quality refurbished products that break down after being installed for a few days. Reasonable aftermarket parts are usually 50%-70% of OEM ones. Those with prices below this range often have many hidden problems.

Conclusion

There are actually many things to pay attention to when buying aftermarket CASE equipment parts. You have to confirm the model, check wear and tear, understand the source, test the performance, and compare prices reasonably. After these five steps, you will basically not step on the pit. After all, the premise of saving money is to buy the right one, not to buy cheaply.
